susan, what is going on? is it april or is it december? >> reporter: oh, listen, three hours ago when you were talking with me, remember the streets were just wet, and then the sun went down and, boom, the snow started falling, so it is really coming down now. we only have about an inch so far. the forecast has always been for the most of it to come down in the overnight hours, and that is what we are expecting. up 208 inches. the roads are already getting treacherous, a bit icy. the morning commute could be difficult, but we're seeing a lot of snow plows out already. we'll see how things look in the morning, don. >> the correct answer to that is it's march, don, and you should know that. thank you very much, susan candiotti. tom is watching the weather from the severe weather center. come on. it's almost april and this is serious stuff. >> we joked about it earlier. not the third week of march. the 52nd day of february.

snow, it's not unusual in parts of colorado where they had it, but we're going to break this down for us. let's start with all the warnings here because in pink are the winter storm warnings, and notice how it's just along i-70, the same interstate that had problems in colorado, in towards kansas, all the way across indianapolis, columbus, pittsburgh you're into trouble, and then we get into d.c., and we're not looking at any advisories. this is good. i'll show you the radar in a moment. the warnings pick up towards atlantic city. new york city you're into an advisory which means about 2, maybe 3 inches. this is going to continue for a while so the radars really tell the story. we've got this area of low pressure kicked out of rockies right, a heavy amount of snow that transfers its energy to a coastal storm. st. louis ten days ago it was 74. they have more snow on the ground than all winter long. 9 inches and 2 more to go and advisories and warnings in effect there, and then you get up to areas around champaign, illinois, indianapolis 6 to 10, going to get a little bit of a

break. mainly thunderstorms to the south. bowling green, kentucky, large hail. this bright banding that you see here is going to change over to sleet and then snow. columbus you're looking at at least 6 to 10 inches. your warnings continue until the afternoon. pittsburgh, 4 to 6. thousands of schools will be closed here, but as the energy gets transferred to this other one, i want to show you in the higher terrain above 1,500 feet, maybe in the panhandle of west virginia, western maryland, easily over a foot of snow, but the thousands that live in washington will most likely have to go to work again, kind of like the last storm. schools may not be closed, rainfall trying to change over, bursts of snow from time to time, but i really think just some slush in the morning commute. new york city looks like 2 to 3 inches. starts as rain mainly and changing in the morning hours. i think the morning rush is fine. it will continue to snow into

the evening period, but atlantic city, this is where we'll find a coastal storm. not going to be a nor'easter, don, which is good news. continues to move and shove its way out into the atlantic, but one year ago it was 80 in chicago. i think old man winter is working out. getting stronger. >> a nor'easter for easter. that would be funny. >> there you go. >> appreciate it. >> sure. >> a popular reality show stunt angered a lot of u.s. war veterans. the outcry grew and grew over the past few days and now the show has responded, on air. that story coming up later here this the newsroom. lactose-free lactaid®ve it's 100% real milk that's easy to digest so you can fully enjoy the dairy you love. lactaid®. for 25 years, easy to digest. easy to love.

will the supreme court say i do to same-sex marriage? the supreme justices questions during arguments this week may reveal which way they are leaning when they take up challenges to the defense of marriage act and california's proposition 8 which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. i talked about the landmark cases before the supreme court with our political panel. >> i'm not really sure where their courage is going to lie. certainly i think california is the easiest route, and when you talk about the entire nation, imposing something on the entire nation, i guess it can go either way. many of us did not think justice roberts would come out and find a way to support health care reform so certainly it's very difficult to look at this point to look at the scenario placed in front of us and try to decide where the supreme court is actually going to lie. but i will say this though, that if any of the justices are concerned about their legacy and being on the right side of history, that could become a factor into how they decide to

vote because they all see the tide has turned. and what you don't want is your name to be next to bigotry. what you don't want is your name to be on the wrong side of history so i think that may influence the conversation among the justices as well. >> but listen, we're talking about the law here, anna, and the justices don't vote on public opinion. they vote on the constitution on what they think is legal and lawful. >> that's right. they vote on the constitution. pamela harris was correct today when she says the court has decided on marriage 14 times, and it's found it to be a fundamental right of americans. now, also, don, regardless of what the court decides, and i agree with lz, it's very hard to predict this court, it's surprised us in the past, but regardless of what the supreme court may decide, this decision is not going to go away. adam and steve are not going to be married if the supreme court goes against it.

there's going to be children that are children of gay couples that are still going to exist. we're still going to have the practical issue to deal with. are we going to tell those children that their family is deserving of less recognition or that they come from a dysfunctional family? are we going to tell that couple that they have less of a right to love each other? so this issue is not going to go away. we have to remember, let's put a name and face to this, the case that's going in front of the supreme court edith winsler, 83 years old, spent 40 years with her partner thea. if thea had been theo, edith winsler would not have had to pay the $600,000 in estate taxes she had to pay when her partner died. that's what we're talking about. that's the kind of equality, but regardless of what the court decides, edith and thea are still going to love each other and still going to be a couple. >> the thing is that edith and thea don't want separate but

equal treatment under the law when it comes to civil unions or marriage and that's what the whole thing is about. >> it's not separate and equal. that's the whole conversation. >> absolutely. >> there's more than 1,000 laws that are separating, you know, same-sex couples heterosexual couples who are in the same comparable relationship, more than 1,000 laws. essentially i pay more taxes for no other reason than my sexual orientation, no other reason how i was born. so it's not even separate but equal. it's separate but unequal. >> and while the entire nation is watching, it millions may be directly affected by the decision of nine people in washington. you'll hear from one of those couples next. stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts, you may be muddling through allergies. try zyrtec® liquid gels. nothing starts working faster than zyrtec® at relieving your allergy symptoms for 24 hours. zyrtec®. love the air. at relieving your allergy symptoms for 24 hours. new griddle-melts to yourime usual breakfast sandwich. a lot more flavor.

people are already lining up outside the supreme court building in washington trying to get front row seats to legal history. the court takes up same-sex marriage in less than two days. justices will hear arguments for the first case tuesday involving

california's proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage. the second case centers on the defense of marriage act which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. as the supreme court prepares to tackle that issue, same-sex couples across the country are watching. cnn's joe johns has a story of a couple, one couple in the d.c. area, who are hoping history will be made. >> reporter: the battle over same-sex marriage in california has been going on for years, and coming up this week it finally arrives at the u.s. supreme court. we talked to one of the couples involved in the case who, win or lose, have already assured themselves a small place in history with their legal challenge. jamelle thomas and korane williams had been together four years before they got married last year in october. don't let the wedding dresses fool you. their lives are not all satin and pearls. >> i'm an airman in the united states air force reserve.

>> and i'm a police officer with the metropolitan police department here in d.c. >> which makes this couple a case study in how america's married but unequal approach to same-sex relationships can play out. >> as an airman, it's -- you get a constant reminder that, you know, you're second class. >> jamelle is a federal employee but the federal defense of marriage act bars recognition of same-sex marriage by the federal government which allows 1,000 separate benefits for spouses, everything from filing taxes and receiving death benefits to who gets called as next of kin. >> i had to list karane as my sister just so that someone would call her in the event, that, you know, i'm killed or missing in action or i'm hurt on the job. she can't be me emergency contact. she can't receive my remains. >> reporter: karane, on the other hand, of a district of columbia employee gets the

benefit of being married because the district recognizes same-sex marriage but only nine districts have taken that step so she loses that status as a spouse just because she crosses the potomac river into virginia. >> we're a ring symbolically, so, you know, it's ridiculous. >> what the bill does -- >> reporter: now the defense of marriage act, also known by doma first passed by congress and signed by president clinton in 1996, is being challenged at the supreme court. >> it's being asked to decide whether or not congress can pass a law that treats same-sex couples who are already married under the laws of their state different from opposite sex couples. >> reporter: defenders of the law say congress has as much right as the states to make its own definition of marriage. >> doma is important because congress said it was important. i mean, we sent our elected representatives to washington, d.c., and they chose to say that marriage is one man and one woman for purposes of federal law. >> reporter: and conservatives say the founding fathers never

contemplated gay marriage. >> because it's clearly not what anyone understood as marriage at the time of the framing of the constitution. >> reporter: still, same-sex families pay taxes and don't get the same benefit and the issue with doma really gets complicated if they have children who are also excluded from benefits. >> when we have kids, i would like them to be born in a post-doma united states. >> reporter: still, california is one of only a handful of states that gives most of the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples in domestic partnerships. one question is whether any ruling by the court on california could affect all of those other states in the same way. >> joe johns, thank you very much. i mentioned this just a few minutes ago. a popular reality show has now responded after an outcry from war veterans. the show has issued a rare on-air apology. that's ahead. iddle-melts to your usual breakfast sandwich. a lot more flavor.

reporter ben wedeman has the latest on the case. >> reporter: an emotional amanda knox is led from an italian courtroom after learning she was free at last. the murder conviction against her and her former boyfriend overturned on appeal. that was october 2011. they had spent four years in prison for the 2007 sexual assault and murder of her roommate, british exchange student meredith kircher. it was a tabloid case that riveted the media, attracting an army of journalists to the medieval town of perugia where knox and kircher were studying italian language and culture. knox's tearful return to her family home in seattle, washington, seemed like the end of her ordeal, but it may not have been the end after all. the prosecution is demanding a retrial and will appeal the conviction before the italian

supreme court in rome. the wheels of italian justice, however, grind slowly. if the acquittal is overturned, the case could go back to an appellate court. if that happens, knox might have to return to italy. if she refuses, the italian authorities could appeal to the u.s. government for her extradition. if the acquittal is upheld, it's case over. rudy guidea, a native of the ivory coast, is serving a 16-year prison term for kircher's murder. this is the supreme court building where knox's case will be heard. her lawyers will be present as well as the prosecutor for the supreme court. there will be no new evidence, no witnesses, simply a review of the reasoning behind the ruling that set knox free. ben wedeman, cnn, rome. >> all right, ben, thank you very much. at half past the hour, almost. time to check the headlines on cnn. dead of winter?

talk about a close call. >> oh, whoa! >> he went through. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> stand back. stand back, stand back. >> oh, my god. >> a group of tourists barely avoided an attack by a great white shark. look at this. it happened off the coast of south africa. a pair of divers entered into a diving cage hoping to catch a glimpse of the predator.

well, they got more than they bargained for. the shark ignored the bait and instead stuck its head into the cage trying to get the people inside. >> stand back. stand back. >> here it is in slow motion. wow. it almost appears to get ahold of one of the divers but they were able to quickly swim to the bottom until the shark swam away. incredibly neither of the divers was injured. al dove is director of research and conservation at the georgia aquarium and joins me now by phone. so al, jack diving, a really huge tourist attraction in south africa, i would imagine other places and other parts of the world. it's dangerous. >> it is dangerous to some degree. certainly there's a thrill-seeking element involved, but you have to question the wisdom of creating a tourist experience where you're baiting the animal that is, you know, the ocean's top predator and to create an experience of this nature.

it's one thing to go diving and to see them in their natural habitat doing their natural thing. it's another thing all together to create a baited experiment, and in this case, as you said, they got a bit more than they bargained for. >> al, thank you for saying, that because i said if you get in the water with those sharks, then whatever happens, then that's what happens. that's where that shark lives and essentially they are baiting, it correct? and to do that, by baiting it like that, is that unusual behavior for them, for the shark? >> certainly unnatural behavior for them. one thing that's hard to tell from that video even though it looks dramatic, whether that shark is actually going after the diver. i know it looks that way, but you have to realize that this is a species that doesn't have hands or arms and their way of exploring their environment which is to use their mouth which, unfortunately, is full of really sharp teeth and mounted on top of several hundred pounds of powerful fish. they bite on to things to find

out what they are, and in this case it's possible there really was no malice intended here, that the animal was simply exploring the environment and probably gave a bit of a fright, too, when if managed to get stuck in the cage. >> so the great white shark, one of the most dangerous species in the world, i guess if you're in its environment, why would anyone want to get this close to it? >> it's a thrill-seeking activity, no doubt about that. what a magnificent animal but it is true that this species is responsible for more attacks on humans, more fatal attacks on humans more than any other shark species and you've got a much better chance of being struck by lightning than being attacked by a shark in an unprovoked fashion. in this situation you have to wonder how unprovoked that situation was when you're using bait to attract animal to you in the first place. that create an unnatural environment and that's something we shouldn't be encouraging. >> can't you just go to the georgia aquarium or some place like that? >> we don't have great white sharks. we have whale sharks but it's a plankton feeder, and you have nothing to fear from that one.

>> al dove, good information. thank you very much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> all right. if you live in a big city, you know how hard it is to find a parking place sometimes, but that doesn't explain this. we've got the story behind this car next.

better than anything they have ever done, just a step above in terms of lyrics in, terms of sound. it was so many things. it was an album and what the album was made for, to tell a story, to make you think, layers and layers of meaning. i put on the 40th anniversary on the day of and listened to side "a" and "b," and it's still lovely. >> i still comb album stores, vinyl stores, and you can find some really, really cool things. you know what? i miss -- i guess i'm being nostalgic here. every couple of weeks, every couple of months you'd go to the music store and they would play the new records for you and you'd discover something. that doesn't happen very much anymore, does it? >> i was the dude in the store that would play the stuff, and i remember we played that record over and over again in the store, and people would walk in. you know, there are records that have a vibe. immediately you walk in a room and it changes the room and "dark side of the moon" was exactly that. it completely changed.

when people walked into our record store it was like what is this? no one had heard stuff like this before for the most part. on the radio then you could listen to bread and raspberries and, you know, just not -- just fairly bland music, and then there was pink floyd. >> thank you, bob. walk down memory lane, another musical anniversary. this one with the band that often gets credit for helping invent rock 'n' roll. ♪ the beatles' debut album "please, please me" was released on march 22nd, 1963. songs like "i saw her standing there," "love me do" and "twist and shout" all classics now, and it all took a mere nine hours and 45 minutes to record the entire album. can you believe? legendary music producer phil spector is the man who produced hits for that band, the beatles, and other artists like tina turner. tonight al pacino stepped into

the role of phil spector in a fictional film on our sister network hbo. it focuses on the murder trial that forever stained he is legacy. >> for what am i being punished for, for being the most successful music producer in the world? >> did you kill that girl? >> i can't wait to get home and watch that on dvr. spector was convicted in 2008 of fatally shooting actress lana clarkson in his mansion. a.j. hammer spoke to spector's wife to see if the director got it right. >> as the nation remains transfixed by the jody areas case, "showbiz" dares to ask what's it like for a family member to be caught up in a real life crime drama. the wife of phil spector is on a mission to reverse the murder conviction of actress lana clarkson who was found dead ten years ago as a result of a gunshot wound to her

mouth and now hbo is telling the story in a movie and she tells me on "showbiz tonight" if they got it right. >> i snuck into a screening last thursday, which is pretty ridiculous that i had to sneak into a screening of a movie about my husband, but it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be, although al pacino doesn't portray my husband accurately, what was done in the movie was about the forensic evidence, and they reiterated throughout the film the fact that lana clarkson was loaded on pills and drugs and alcohol, was in a very depressed mental state and that she ultimately killed herself. and in the film, as you know, since you've seen, it they backed it up with forensic scientific demonstrations to show that my husband could not have been responsible for her death. >> check out hbo phil spector and be sure to catch hln's "showbiz tonight" with a.j.
